[366 Days of Monsters] Days 157-158/366 - Aukfolk (Patreon)

The frozen lands of Husweagua are home ot the aukfolk, a race of squat, tundra-dwelling humanoid birds known for their large, colorful beaks and close-knit culture.

Power of the Tribe. Although some Pexian anthropologists consider aukfolk culture simple and lawless, these birds continue to demonstrate a proclivity for unification. An aukfolk tribe, when pitted against at threat that pushes the limits of what a lone tribe can normally handle, will work with sister tribes to combat the threat.

Followers of Imes. Most aukfolk revere a god named Imes, the God of Strength. In aukfolk mythology, Imes stood against Vapul and beat back the demon's chill winds by playing his Great Drum, Astus. Although the wounds Vapul caused never fully healed, Imes rid Husweagua of the demon's destructive presence. Life in the north continued unhindered.
